6-10 Setting the Bar Code Reader Input Function
The NT31/NT31C has a bar code reader input function which allows a bar code
reader to be connected and bar code data to read as character strings into charac-
ter string input fields.
This section describes the communication conditions for the bar code reader and
the setting method for confirming the input data.
Reference - For details on bar code reader types and connection methods, refer to 3-4 “Con-
necting a Bar Code Reader” (page 43) and for details on how to use a bar code
reader refer to “Inputting a Character String Using a Bar Code Reader” (page
536).
- The bar code reader is connected to serial port A. This means that serial port B
must be used for communications with the host.
